Re: Need some help with a couple of dusties

Start drinking! I've seen a few decanters while shopping lately and was thinking of picking one up. Which one would my fellow SB-er's grab?
A $15 Ezra Brooks 12 year (90 proof?) from 1968 or a $25 Jim Beam 13 year BIB from 1972

Both after shaking to verify contents.

Then skip home happily, decant and smile.

Re: Need some help with a couple of dusties

I hit an auction the other week and picked up a dozen Beam decanters, along with a Wild Turkey 101 and an Old Mr Boston W.C. Fields from the '70's (all full) for $2.00 apiece. The empty ones went for $10 to $30 for a card table full. (about 20 to 30 per table)

Re: Need some help with a couple of dusties

Ok Guys, I opened the ER 101. OUTSTANDING WHISKEY!!! Great flavor but I noticed the acohol was a little more powerfull than I'm used too. Being a 101 I din't think it would be that strong. most of my pours are between 90 and 100 proof.

However, on my second pour (neat) i found that it wasn't as strong but still powerfull. I'm sure the more I drink the better it will get.

Probably the best pour I've had so for. Being a novice, that doesn't say much. I think this was a great find for my first dusty.

Re: Need some help with a couple of dusties

All of the Ezra Brooks decanters had been compromised and they were on sale for $6 but still not worth it. The Beam is still on my mind and i think I have some Old Fitz decanters on the way...can't wait to try those.
